Often igniting them to set about a controlled narrative. Isolating the intended recipient.

'Let the dead Past bury its dead'* would be a better saying if the Past ever died. The persistence of the Past is one of those tragi-comic blessings which each new age denies, coming cock-sure on to the stage
